With the teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 being released, I think it is time to speculate what could be on the soundtrack. We know a couple songs that were on the mix tape that Star-Lord was given by his mother before being abducted in 1988. This list is completely fan-made, and it is only what I think would be a great Awesome Mix Volume 2.
1. "Princes of the Universe" by Queen
This anthem of self-defiance is perfect to welcome back the rag-tag heroes that we met back in 2014. I could totally see this song being used in the opening scene. With the fast chorus, the Guardians could be caught in a battle or something as equally thrilling. It would create even more excitement to see what is to come.
2. "Baby I Need Your Loving" by The Four Tops
It was clear in the first film how much Peter's mom loved Motown. This love song could be used in a funny scene involving Peter and Gamora.
3. "Don't Fear The Reaper" by the Blue Oyster Cult
This quirky, yet haunting tune could be a useful song to introduce the villain (who is unknown as of yet) or even Yondu who seems to a bigger role.
4. "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" by the Temptations
So, Kurt Russell was cast as Peter's father. This is the man that left his family on Earth, and is also, not human. There is going to be a lot of daddy issues in this movie. This darker Motown song perfectly captures this feeling of sadness and betrayal.
5."Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash
This songs is about moving on from a tough situation. I have a feeling that the group may be split for some time. This songs could work with any of the guardians, but I think it could be great with Gamora.
6. "Space Oddity" or "Life On Mars?" by David Bowie
No matter what, there will be another David Bowie in the sequel. There was even a chance that we was going to cameo in the movie. Anyway, I feel either of these songs could work in the movie. There is just a special feel to all of Bowie's songs, that it is so hard to choose. Honestly, any Bowie song would be a wonderful addition to the soundtrack.
7. "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner
This rock anthem could be the way to show Peter getting out of a personal funk and to re-discover who is he is. Out of all the Marvel heroes, Star-Lord is the true Jukebox Hero.
8. "All Fired Up" by Pat Benatar
A badass song to go with a badass climatic battle. Can I say more?
9. "Come Sail Away" by Styx
Funny enough, this song played in the car ride from the theater when my dad and I saw the first movie. He mentioned how this would be a good song for the next movie. Well, Dad, I agree. This song would be so perfect to end the sequel with! Just listen to it, and you will see why.
